Linksys AE2500 compatibility problem

It shouldn't? Make sure the lastest AE2500 drivers are on XP (http://homesupport.cisco.com/e.....ers/AE2500).
I'm using that on a W8 machine and do not have a problem.
Sounds like a h/w issue though, total black screen? I'd look in the event viewer and see if there was any errors at the time the screen went black.

I thought maybe some wireless router security settings might be different for the Apple computer, and was causing the wireless connection problem with the Windows XP computer and AE 2500. The initial connection was quick, but he would lose it when he tried to change web pages.
I'll check the drivers at the link above and go from there.
